CounterPunching
Stalinists for Kerry! and Other Roars from the Crowd



This letter from John Lacny is polite, but we can tell he's pretty mad
at us.

Dear Cockburn:

Here's you:

"Listening to Democrats screaming about Ralph Nader's entry into the
presidential race we finally understand the mindset of those Communist
dictatorships that used to take such trouble to ensure that the final
count showed a 99 percent Yes vote for the CP candidate."

I knew, just fucking knew, that you people would eventually resort to
old-fashioned red-baiting to attack the People's Front against Bush.
Knew it. Old Claud Cockburn is spinning in his grave right now, a man
who had the gumption to call the POUM what they were for firing on the
however-imperfect Spanish Republic from BEHIND the lines even as the
falangists closed in for the kill. For that, he's been called a
"totalitarian" ever since, and his son has hitherto at least had the
courage to defend him against Orwell, Hitchens, Ron Radosh, and the rest
of that offal. No more, it appears; the son has thrown in his lot with
the Trotskyites.
